Getting there slowly!
Haven’t forgot about the thread. Did get the engine put back together, in the car and it runs ! Finally got my lift installed. So finishing up...
Pics of front end progress. Still working on her when I can !
I thought it was 4" square tube. When i showed up a week later to pick it up i thought to myself this is heavier than i thought.!!
Oh for sure, Ive kinda done some sail panels on a few cars with a chop but had an expert there to fix mistakes !
Will do thanks for the advice !
Thats the plan, Ive only used one a few times, the sail panels on my desoto with joel davis's english wheel is where I got the itch to get one....
While up at work in Cheyenne Wyo last week a buddy of mine found this English wheel on marketplace and sent me the link. I've been looking for the...
Finally back home from work. 14 days on 14 days off is a great schedule but still rough at the same time. Ordered my brake parts and power brake...
The only 4 door id buy is a 54-57 olds 88 Holiday hard top. Best looking 4 doors IMO
A good friend of mine stopped by my place today, and had these bitchin Oldsmobile advertisements for me. I bought my 54 olds from him a while...

I’m going with gold on my 324 olds. It’s in my 54 88 so won’t see the engine much. The stock green is cool but can’t beat a gold engine imo.
Yeah I’m thinking longer push rods and if the cam and lifters are both refaced, idk why you couldn’t put them in random order. It’s like...
Ok awesome I will look into that.
I had noticed that the rocker shafts looked starved of oil when I pulled the valve covers off. I did have this running a couple of weeks ago....
Decent day of progress. Got the 324 torn down to a long block pretty much. In recent posts I had mentioned that there was water coming out of the...
I have a 346 I’m building in the next year or two collecting parts I’d probably pick up a set if they were available
Thanks! And I read that as well. Im going to pull both heads go through the whole top end I have a 4 barrel intake off a super I might throw on if...
To me a car is kind of like a woman. You don't know why you like 'em but you do.
Watched my son this morning got to the shop around noon. Loaded up the engine and transmission after sealing everything up and gave her a bath....
Thats a nice powerplant for sure.
I see so the pump bolts hold it all together im guessing. Nice engine you have there BTW. What transmission do you have behind it. ?
Pulled my 324 out of my 54 holiday olds. A few issues I need to address and while its out I'm thinking about getting an adaptor kit to put a 700R4...
Home for a bit off work back on the car. Found that the radiator had a crack in the upper tank. Soldered that up pressure test passed. Figured out...
